ZEE FACES ACCOUNTING DEBACLE

Sebi has uncovered as part of its investigation into Zee founders a hole of more
than $240 million in the account of Zee Entertainment Limited. This has been
another blow as less than a month ago their deal to merge with Sony Group
Corp’s local unit fell through. The amount could exceed the initially reported
number after SEBI interviews the executives. The amount is ten times more
than anticipated by SEBI.
This has piled up on the CEO as he has had to reassure investors woes after the
merger failing which was 2 years in the making. Due to the controversy an order
barred the founders in August from holding executive or director positions as
they had taken advantage of their position and transferred funds for their
personal gain. This has caused the financial pulse of Zee to deteriorate.
